Funny or Not? 可笑吗？

A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there, he kept on pestering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He dreaded having to spend Christmas to hospital. Tough the doctor did his best, the patient’s recovery was slow .

On Christmas day, the man still had his tight leg in plaster. He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing. The following day, however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year’s Eve he was able to hobble along to a party. To compensate for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than was good for him. In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling every body how much he hated hospitals. He was still mumbling something about hospital at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.
